Makerworld "community" tab was a big mistake

This made my head hurt.

New one :rofl:


Probably is the same account as

and also

They have similarities on how they write and followers/following…
Oh i love community posts :sweat_smile:

The Community feed is better than reading through the latest forum posts. I’d rather see people begging for points and spamming their models than whining about a feature they don’t want to use.

I don’t watch baseball, can someone explain this?

Also in breaking overnight news one of the biggest virtual panhandlers was smited by the Makerworld gods.

Indeed, my “following” feed is simply exquisite! And after surgical application of blocks of certain most annoying panhandlers and pollsters the “For you” is even manageable!

The balance between blocking them and not blocking them so that I can report the scams… ah, digital dilemmas :joy:

Well now I feel silly, I called Canadian Walmart and asked them to send me info on their baseball team and they hung up on me!

I’d say, if you’ve reported them thrice and they still refuse to repent or correct their actions (even after losing posts and points) then it’s time to block them and treat them as tax collectors. :wink:

I’ve been trying to use the Community tab and have posted about once a day of what I thought were some decent posts but as far as I can tell, there has been zero effect. I would be good to have a category added to the Creator Center to see what sort of traffic the posts are getting.

The RealNationPrint user has decided swearing in the community messages is the next best thing to faking contests where the prizes are withdrawn midway through.

I just reported them for offensive content. We will see if anything happens.

Then, that makes two of us.

I would give it some time for the dust to settle. Maybe after a few weeks, or check it once a week and post only after seeing some sort of order has been established.

They have to move the garbage truck in first to remove all the stuff, because they forgot to plan bins.

I believe the plan is to see if the feature catches fire first. As I wrote on another thread, I think this is the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) approach at play.

Before sinking too much resources (manhours, capital) into a product or feature, companies will make an MVP to test the market. In this case, test if MW users will use the Community feature, and how it’s being used, etc. Now MW knows that users are quite enthusiastic about it, and there are some good use, but also abuses, which MW probably doesn’t need an MVP to confirm :slight_smile: ).

The Exclusive Model Program was also launched as an MVP, in my opinion. We probably can expect MW to launch new features in this manner going forward. It’s ok, we just need to be patient and get used to it.

Makerworld allowing Polls in the “community” tab was a horrible mistake!

And the number of blocked users has reached the limit! Stupid Polls! I guess that I am limited to “only” blocking 100 users.

Let me remind you of the video of that happening.

An MVP would have been NOT having a community tab that shows every single “community” message.

This should have been and should become, ONLY my followers see my messages.

The spam wouldn’t have occurred, at least not anywhere near this level.

The amount of spam was an obvious expectation for anyone the blind, half blind and the dead all spotted this coming.

Now you are making my point for me, poorly thought out, poorly communicated, rules changed on the fly, only users punished for their changes.

The beta tag has been attached for far too long, it is now an excuse and a crutch each time they royally screw up. They have been around for years, come from a company that had skills, they brought several over, they have earned far too much to not afford to be able to hire competent people with knowledge of “this is dumb and we will look stupid”.

Their communications on each of these have been at a remedial level at best.
